I'm sorry for the late update. I recently resumed school and I have been extremely busy with school work, plus the semester is really short.
"Blaze!" Astrid's exclamation pierces the room for what felt like the umpteenth time, finally succeeding in snapping him out of his lascivious daydreams. His cheeks flushed with a telltale hue of embarrassment as his mind shifted away from its indecent reverie. A frustrated, inner expletive escapes his lips. Fuck!"What on earth were you thinking about? I've been calling out to you countless times," Astrid inquires, her gaze dropping provocatively to the bulge straining against his trousers.Inwardly, she couldn't help but label this man as a libertine. He wasn't seriously imagining screwing her? Her sly smirk conveyed her certainty that he had indulged in salacious fantasies. She leaned back in his plush office chair, crossing her enticing legs in a manner designed to taunt."You don't honestly believe I invited you to your office with the intention of having sex with you, do you?" She folds her arms and regards him, a mixture of astonishment and amusement dancing in her eyes."No? I
With a smug grin, she utters, her words dripping with pride, "You know, darling, not only would you be blessed with unimaginable wealth, but our offspring would undoubtedly inherit exceptional intelligence. You're truly fortunate to have me as your mate, you should probably extend your gratitude to the moon goddess herself." Blaze raises an eyebrow at her unabashed bragging. "I am well aware of my greatness," she sighs with faux exhaustion, as if the burden of her excellence weighed heavily on her."And you accused me of being a narcissist." Blaze's response came with a soft, click of his tongue.She counters with a playful nudge to his chest, "Even if I'm not a Werewolf, I've got some pretty sharp hearing, you know."Blaze chortles at her retort, then, with a softness in his eyes, he stares into her eyes, cupping her face gently in his large palm. "You're right. I am incredibly fortunate to have you, but not solely for the reasons you mentioned. I'm eternally grateful to the moon go
"What can I say? We both know it's true. I am hot! If I wasn't so hot, you wouldn't be thinking about how you are gonna survive seeing my naked body and not begging me to fuck you!"Blaze's words had a way of igniting a fierce blush on Astrid's cheeks, and she quickly stammers, "I'm l-leaving for now. See you later!"She hurriedly exited the office, closing the door behind her with a gentle yet hurried touch. Leaning against the closed door, her heart raced, and she nervously bit her lower lip. Her hand, still clutching the doorknob, seemed to be the only thing keeping her grounded.Astrid's mind was in turmoil as she contemplated the challenges that lay ahead. The mere thought of sharing a home with a man as incredibly attractive as Blaze made her pulse quicken. Her vivid imagination conjured images of him naked, water glistening on his chiseled physique as he emerged from the shower. Astrid envisioned his seductive wink, his hard member swaying provocatively with a tantalizing rhyth
"How is this even possible? How can you possibly be her?""I really must be on my way, I'm already running late. But I suppose I can't refuse the car, it would be impolite to decline." Astrid remarks.With a press of her car key, Astrid summoned forth the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, a testament to automotive ingenuity. The supercar, an embodiment of design brilliance, responded with an almost theatrical flourish. Its iconic gull-wing doors unfurled elegantly, as if guided by an unseen hand, revealing the opulent and powerful interior concealed within.Within the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ's cabin, splendor met performance head-on. The leather upholstery exuded luxury, while high-tech displays illuminated the cockpit with cutting-edge technology. The race-inspired steering wheel hinted at the car's true purpose — a thrilling amalgamation of speed and style.Astrid slid sophisticatedly into the driver's seat, seamlessly merging with the high-performance machine. Just as she did, Elena rush
Elias Thorne stormed into the office, his demeanor eclipsed by a whirlwind of irritation. The door swung open with an assertive slam, reverberating through the corridor. His brows furrowed in consternation, a tempest of rage clouding his typically calm countenance.The news of being replaced by a seemingly young and inexperienced figure had ignited a fire within him. Each step he took into Leo's office resonated with a mix of indignation and incredulity. His jaw clenched, and his eyes flashed with a tumultuous fervor, betraying the internal turbulence."What's this unsettling news I'm hearing, Leo? You're opting for a replacement, and not just anyone – a young woman clearly lacking in experience. I understand the company is grappling with a crisis, but do you genuinely believe someone like her can navigate us through these challenges? I've dedicated over two decades to this company. How could you make such a decision without considering my loyalty?" he demands, his tone seething with f
Astrid entered the boardroom with poised strides, the subtle echo of her heels against the polished floor announcing her arrival. The board members, already seated around the expansive tables, turned their attention towards the entrance. As she approached the head of the table, her lips stretched into a warm smile."Good evening, everyone. I'm Astrid Pierce-Cyrene alias Star Cyra, and I'm thrilled to join this incredible team as your new CFO," she began, her voice projecting a blend of professionalism and approachability.The news hung in the air, and a moment of collective surprise settled over the boardroom. The board members, initially engaged in the financial discussions, shifted their attention entirely toward Astrid. A murmur of recognition swept through the room, and a few exchanged glances as the realization dawned.Mr. Johnson, the chairman, inches forward with a raised eyebrow, "Star Cyra? The industry luminary?"Astrid nods, "Yes, that's correct. I've had the privilege of be
Post the board meeting, Astrid, fixing her intense gaze on Harper, addresses her with conviction, "The financial data doesn't lie, Harper. There's a pattern here, and your involvement is glaring. It's implausible that Elias could've embezzled such a substantial sum without your awareness. I'm inclined to believe that your involvement isn't isolated in this."Astrid maintains her penetrating stare, awaiting Harper's reply—an answer that could either validate or dismiss the brewing suspicions.Harper, striving for composure, stumbles in her response, "Ma'am, I… I'm not sure what you're insinuating. I handle a multitude of transactions, and discrepancies are an inherent aspect of the job.""Harper, these discrepancies transcend mere mistakes. There's a discernible pattern, a string of transactions that conspicuously benefit both you and Elias. I need the unvarnished truth from you, Harper, before this situation spirals out of control. I chose to address this with you initially, opting for
"Dad!" Astrid's cheeks lit up like a vibrant sunset, a delightful blend of chagrin and amusement playing across her face in response to her father's whimsical remark.Leo, with a mischievous glint in his eye, feigns innocence and replies, "What? I was merely articulating the unvarnished truth."Deciding it was time to bid her farewell, she announces, "I will be taking my leave now," pivoting to make her exit. However, her departure found an unexpected pause when Leo interjects with heartfelt words."Astrid, a big thank you for today. I was oblivious, wrapped in my trust for Elias to notice that he was siphoning off my funds."With a reassuring smile, Astrid responds, "No worries, Dad. It's a valuable lesson – occasionally, placing trust in someone can lead to unforeseen twists. The path of blind trust isn't always the wisest choice.""I suppose I learned my lesson through the school of hard knocks. You're a virtuoso in your field, without a doubt." Leo commends."I must admit, I am ext
